Charlie Sheen the rapper: Star and Snoop Dogg 'set to record new single together'

He may no longer have a TV show, but it seems Charlie Sheen will stop at nothing in his bid for super-stardom.

This week, he is taking on the music industry, enlisting the help of one of R&B’s best rappers, Snoop Dogg, to record a track.

Sheen, 45, is set to start working on the single when he returns from his My Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour, which kicks off in Detroit this Saturday.

The former Two and a Half Men star expressed his excitement by posting a photograph on Twitter of himself in the studio with Snoop and Producer, Robert Patterson.

The troubled actor tweeted: ‘Warlock meets his makers-music makers that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within!’

Sheen is set to perform his tour in 20 cities across North American before drawing the tour to a close on May 3rd in Seattle.

But it's not all good news. Sheen's lawyer has hit out at a television producer who is suing his client over a failed reality show, saying that The Two And A Half Men star has never ever heard of him.

Ed Meyer was supposedly working with his estranged uncle Joe Estevez
on a project called Being Sheen but claims he was stopped from making it
after Sheen and his parents Martin and Janet, conspired to 'threaten,
interfere with and restrain' the series.

But Sheen's lawyer
Marty Singer rubbished the claims, telling the Hollywood Reporter: 'This
is the most ridiculous lawsuit I have ever seen in my 30-year career.
My client doesn't even know who this person is.'

Meyer has worked as Joe Estevez's manager and apparently represented Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband Ojani Noa in his multi-million dollar court battle with his former wife.

In the legal papers, Meyer claims he has been 'damaged' by the defendants' alleged 'wrongful acts', which have prevented him from moving forward with the project, which was to be about the entire Hollywood family.

Meyer, who alleges he has been trying to get Being Sheen off the ground since April 2010, is asking for at least $20 million (£13.3 million) in damages.

According to U.S. website RadarOnline, the suit was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday.

It alleges: 'Starting on January 4, 2010, Defendant Carlos Irwin Estevez, along with co-conspirators Martin Sheen and Janet Sheen, all non-parties to the Reality Show deal, did internationally and tortuously: threaten, interfere with and restrain, and also conspire to: threaten, interfere with and restrain the Plaintiff's reality television project starring their relative Joe Estevez, titled: 'About The Sheens' aka 'Being Sheen' aka 'Sheen Reality,' thus destroying the contractual relationships and damaging the Plaintiff Ed Meyer.'

Meyer, who is representing himself, is seeking at least $20 million in damages lfor the outrageous tortuous conduct' of the Golden Globe-winning actor.

Only Sheen is being targeted however, and his parents Martin and Janet were not named as co-defendants despite being named in the papers.

The troubled actor is also said to be suing Warner Bros over his sacking from their show Two And A Half Men.

He was fired from the show on March 7 and has been locked in a bitter battle with the company and the executive producer of the show, Chuck Lorre.

Sheen meanwhile has been busy working on a single with Snoop Dogg.

He wrote on Twitter: 'Get ready to rock the Sheenius within!'

Billboard reports that the single could come out sooner rather than later to tie in with Sheen's stand-up comedy tour called My Violent Torpedo Of Truth which is scheduled to start in Detroit this Saturday.
